From the collection of Peter Wettlaufer, another beautiful luggage sticker from his godparents' (Ashford and Priscilla Murch) traveling days. It's still there, and it looks the same. Here is a screengrab from its website. Worth a visit to the site just to see what the rooms look like.

Another S.S. Paris luggage sticker, courtesy of Peter Wettlaufer. It belonged to his godparents, Ashford and Priscilla Murch of Buffalo. I love the handwriting, and the hyphen between New-York. "Couchette 457," I'm guessing this was their cabin number.

A beautifully designed luggage sticker from the collection of Peter Wettlaufer of Buffalo. It belonged to his godparents, Priscilla and Ashford Murch, also of Buffalo. Many ships have been called the S.S. Paris. I am guessing it was this one.

These keys are for one of these "white suitcases." I love the dynamic American Airlines logo and name in italic type. Mom tells me that the suitcases were lightweight, and some of the first designed for air travel, vs. ocean liners. She spent a lot of her own money on them, she told me, and her mother "thought she was wasting her money."
